They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds. (Mexican proverb.) This is your I Shall Survive song this month. You’ve grown through the conflict and noise surrounding you – there’ve been so many fingers in one pie – and you create brilliant new financial arrangements through keeping the love and the faith. Brava. While all around you are losing their heads, you’re in a steady position, stronger than you know. You hold more cards in the equation than you think.

If you’ve been feeling disgruntled – perhaps you are bearing the greater financial burden in a relationship? – you can look forward to a shift in attitude. You might want to restructure everyone’s financial roles, and you will find a way to do this. And it benefits you. How could it not? You have such supportive forces in your eighth house of joined money resources. In here you have:

Awesome Sun, the giver of life, light and energy

Your beautiful ruler, Venus, planet of love and beauty

Sexy, powerful Mars until December 15

Adoring Juno

Brilliant Mercury, planet of word and thought after December 11

An exciting new Sagittarius Moon Friday, December 19

And your eighth house, traditionally ruled by transformative Scorpio, rules:

Shared resources and monies

Taxes. This includes taxes and monies with your honey and your family.

Death and inheritances

Financial settlements

Company mergers

Physical merging – sex, sex, sex

Intimacy

Sharing your deepest truths

Letting go of the past

Shedding an old persona: embracing the new

Clearing out dated clothes, remnants of a past self

Healing

Regenerating

Recovering your unconscious

Summoning your psychic powers

You can expect a complete rebirth in these areas. In fact, you’ll be forced to come up with new arrangements with one or more of these: your pay, joint accounts, an inheritance, a buyout, a merger, alimony, child support, and so on.

While it may not be comfortable at the time, the benefits prove to be profitable. Karma is asking you to let go of an old arrangement and agreement with another / others, so as to be able to begin your new year in 2026 with a clean slate.

Concern about partnerships are still foremost and Mercury retrograde in your seventh house ruling relationships and contracts – is about secrets being revealed. A month is the clean sweep. You find out some personal secrets about your closest connections, both in love and in business.

This period also brings many people from the past back into your life, including those who have passed on. Under governance of the eighth house, the veil is thinnest at this time, between light and dark, and past spirits will appear or speak.

A good astrologer is a good detective as well as a healer, and I’ve always been a personal fan of the kid who shouts out the truth in Hans Christian Andersen’s The Emperor’s New Clothes. Our beloved writer of moralistic fairy tales was born a brave Aries on April 2, 1805 in Odense, Denmark.

Going further here, Scorpio traditionally rules the eighth house, which rules, beyond secrets, other people’s money, shared resources, mutual funds, taxes, inheritance.

Within your own chart look at which planets you have in Scorpio and in which houses. Also on which cusp you have Scorpio. This gives you a clue as to where more light of day – secrets, revelations – will soon shine.

What you need to deal with cannot be pushed aside – and this is your relationship with your partner. This includes business and work partners as well as love and marriage partners. You still need to work something out.

Single bulls will have a more difficult time hooking up with new partners, and attached bulls will be enmeshed in trying to figure out their already-extant relationships.

You are one to think things through, and this December is no exception. You are about to change your life and, in order to do this, you will be thinking for extra credit – or should be.

Be honest and brave and forthright – be the best of you. You’re strong enough to deal with any situation, and I have no doubt that you will succeed with this one, Taurus.

In both love and business, ask for what you want, because the world will be your oyster. Bonds will be strengthened, new agreements and contracts will be made.

This is good for Taurus, who loves security, and, like the bull, needs its hooves on the earth. Keeping it practical and real. You realize a current contract you have needs to be pared down in some way, the excess cut out. In some extreme cases, that a contract has to go completely, so a new one can be born.

Negotiations are called for — the seventh house also rules negotiation — and Saturn is watching over you both as friends (Saturn in your eleventh house), calling for your wisdom and experience from past lessons.

There’s been so much emphasis on the material, not enough on the spiritual. That is Chiron, still howling in your twelfth house. The wound that never heals. (Although I believe it can.) With wise Ceres now joining Chiron here, you’re given a lucky break. A new teacher appears and leads you into a new way of being. Onto a different path, even.

Palmistry is the most important part of my readings, where I get my most psychic insights. Different disciplines speak to different people. I’ve always loved astrology but it’s the palms that really speak to me.
